FYI -- I'm going to test this a bit more but I am going to put it in.
The code is a mess -- look at how much code I remove below (and that's
after everybody elses cleanups!) for a dubious optimisation.
I agree that we should address this and we need to really do this to not
mess up our aggregation state, but the current code is too complex and
causing too many issues. We also need to think about this in the context
of multi-virtual-channel support.

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
The on-channel work optimisations have caused a
number of issues, and the code is unfortunately
very complex and almost impossible to follow.
Instead of attempting to put in more workarounds
let's just remove those optimisations, we can
work on them again later.

This applies on top of Stanislaw's three patches and
my patch from today to remove the same mess from the
scan code.
